Life-long Somers resident Joe Smith sat on his first board meeting as a trustee April 9, 2019. The 49-year-old ran for the one-year term out of curiosity to find out more about how the village works now that he has more time.

“Somers is growing fast and I want to get involved and help out” he said.
His first day went smoothly.

“Everybody is very kind and generous,” he said, hoping for some help from the board  along the way.

He took over the Jerry Smith Produce & Pumpkin Farm at the corner of Highway L and A from his parents about five years ago.
